Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. Winter fairs in Chadwell Heath are dark by about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Information about power and water
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
Chadwell Heath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Chadwell Heath: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Chadwell Heath?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Which station is closest to Chadwell Heath?
Chadwell Heath station, about 0.9 miles south-west of the centre.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
